Abstract. The aim of the study is to reveal the allusive potential of the toponymy in the novel “The Magus” by J. Fowles in the context of the ideological content of the work of art. The article analyses the author’s intellectual game with the reader to decipher the cultural code of allusive toponymy in a postmodernist work of art. The scientific novelty lies in substantiating the ability of toponyms to act as allusions and describing the actualization of their implication within the framework of the chronotopes “provincial town”, “Island” and “The Way”, which are fragments of the space-time continuum of this novel. As a result of the study, it is proved that the verifying function of toponymy affects only the surface layer of the novel ideological content. The allusive potential of toponymy is manifested in the actualization of intertextual, cultural-historical and socio-cultural implication in the process of implementing the characterizing and symbolizing functions that are inextricably linked with the deep meanings of the work of art.
